Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for kids in the United States. It’s also one of the highest, if not the highest, season for sugar consumption. The dietary upshot? According to the USDA, the average kid consumes about 3 cups of sugar and 1½ cups of fat on Halloween. That’s about 7,000 extra calories.
So during Halloween events and activities, why add to all that sugar intake with sugary soda? Try Syfo instead. Syfo Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters come in four delicious flavors — Lemon-Lime, Wild Cherry, Tangerine-Orange and Peach-Pear. With no sugar, sodium, artificial sweetener or preservatives, they’re healthy for you and your kids, plus you can add your favorite fruit juice to create a special treat.
It’s the perfect way for you to give your kids a healthy and happy Halloween. This article in the Orange County Register has some other great tips for enjoying a guilt-free Halloween:
- Come up with a “sugar budget” for the holiday with your kids, agreeing on how many pieces of candy kids can eat during and after Halloween.
- When it’s time for trick or treat, send your child out the door with a belly full of fiber and protein. Whole food slows the absorption of sugar.
- For the Halloween parties, try substituting trays of sliced vegetables for extra cupcakes or cookies and of course serve sparkling water instead of soda.
- After Halloween, create a “buyback” program where kids can exchange all that extra candy that they can’t hope to eat for a toy or book.
- Incorporate Halloween candy into a larger discussion about healthy attitudes toward what your kids eat and drink.

Sparkling water is growing fast in popularity and not just because of the effervescence and refreshing taste. Many of our own customers have sung its praises for improving their health, including weight loss, battling diabetes and helping them through pregnancy. In this post, we’d like to focus on another great health benefit of sparkling water — helping with digestion.
Websites from draxe.com, livestrong.com to healthline.com have all outlined how sparkling water can help with digestion. Here are some of the highlights:
Sparkling water can help with constipation
People who experience constipation may find that drinking sparkling water helps to relieve their symptoms. In one study of 40 elderly people who had suffered strokes, average bowel movement frequency nearly doubled in the group that drank carbonated water, compared to the group that drank tap water. What’s more, the participants reported a 58% decrease in symptoms.
Another scientific review out of the U.K. published in 2014 analyzed 20 different trials involving 902 subjects with a central neurological disease like Parkinson’s, or a brain injury, such as a stroke. People with these types of health issues are much more likely to experience constipation compared to the general population. This study made the interesting finding that sparkling water may be helpful to people with central neurological issues who suffer from constipation.
Sparkling water can Increase feelings of fullness
Many Syfonatics have reported that Syfo Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters have helped them lose weight, and it’s not just because of the lack of sugar or sweeteners. Sparkling water can help you feel fuller so you crave and consume less food.
The reason is that sparkling water may help food remain in the first part of the stomach for longer, which can trigger that sensation of fullness. In a controlled study of 19 healthy young women, fullness scores were higher after the participants drank 8 oz (250 ml) of sparkling water, compared to still water.
Sparkling water can improve overall digestion and help with dyspepsia
According to a 2002 study published in the “European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology”, if you’re feeling a little sick to your stomach after eating, drinking a glass of sparkling water might help. Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is a term used to describe a variety of symptoms that occur in the upper abdominal area and may include bloating, nausea, vomiting or quickly feeling full after eating.
Sparkling water can improve swallowing ability
It might seem surprising, but studies suggest that sparkling water may actually improve swallowing ability in both young and older adults. In one study, 16 healthy people were asked to repeatedly swallow different liquids. Carbonated water showed the strongest ability to stimulate the nerves responsible for swallowing function.
Sure the bubbles and flavor delight the tongue. But sparkling water can be an important factor in improving your health, including your digestive health. Read more testimonials here on how Syfo has helped people just like you to lead healthier lives.
